Fun Facts

Shoe stores don't serve the Shoe Goblin and Bigfoot.

The Shoe Goblin is a member of the Shoe Bank, his credit card number is 5403 5403 5403 5403 and expires in October 2007.

If you turn each number around 180 degrees, it would resemble "ShOE ShOE ShOE ShOE".

At this shoe store, you have to sign a contract to buy shoes.

However, the contract might only be required when purchasing extraordinarily large shoes, such as ones whose mere weight could destabilise the planet's orbit when improperly handled.

More likely, it's just the IOU signature required for credit card transactions by most non-online merchants.
